Yesterday wasn't the worst day of October but was close at 0.67 Os.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0

Only arfur O yesterday. Hopefully better today, especially given the extra hour.
Went for a walk in Wilkinson on Friday, and the Range yesterday. Had a widdle in both! Must say, staff in all shops are absolutely brilliant, and they all love a cuddle. Next time I'll take the puppy.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

Hi all :wave:
Haven't posted for a while, but as I've just passed the 5th anniversary of my installation I thought I'd pop by with a quick update just in case anyone is interested:)
At the end of year 5, total generation stands at 11848 kWh.
This represents approx 122.5% of the PVGIS Classic prediction on which I based my decision to proceed with the installation (I am aware that the predicted figures have been updated in the past 5 years but, frankly, CBA to recalculate using the new figures)
With 20 days left until the end of this quarter for FIT, I've received a shade over £5650 (this includes FIT earned to date and due to be paid at the end of this quarter) which represents just over 48% of the cost of the installation.
Plus, of course, reduced electricity bills, but impossible to estimate this saving due to other changes in household use over the last 5 years.
Overall, I'm still happy with my decision
2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shadingEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endMFW #4 OPs: 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07
